QIC- AG Implementation Manual for the Permanency Survey (Vermont)

The QIC-AG Vermont Site Implementation Manual documents Vermont’s implementation of the Vermont Permanency Survey as part of the National Quality Improvement Center for Adoption/Guardianship Support and Preservation (QIC-AG). Rather than delivering a direct service intervention, this manual focuses on how Vermont developed and used a statewide survey to better understand the experiences, strengths, and needs of adoptive and guardianship families both before and after legal permanence. The manual guides agencies through planning, system assessment, stakeholder collaboration, data collection, and use of findings to inform post-permanency services, offering practical lessons learned to support data-driven decision-making and continuous system improvement.
